Body of young man found floating facedown in NYC’s Harlem River: cops

A young man’s lifeless body was found floating in the Harlem River Sunday morning, cops said. 

The body of the unidentified man – believed to be in his 20s – was discovered just after 9:30 a.m., when authorities responded to a 911 call for an unconscious male, spotted facedown in the river near East 106th Street, police said. 

The NYPD’s Harbor Unit removed the body from the water, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
